United States was thrust into “the war that raged around the world” on
December 7, 1941 -- the attack on Pearl Harbor. Almost overnight,

took precedence over consumer goods. Due to the shortage and reallocation of food and non-food items, the government introduced rationing, assuring that everyone would receive their fair share.
